So it's very much believable that in his desperation and his naivete, let's face it, Trump is a real estate developer from Manhattan turned reality TV star and playboy.
He is not...
a foreign policy military analyst and he doesn't have anybody around him this time who actually understands this stuff.
He's got all the CPAC, you know, rejects.
These guys are not, these guys are not able to tell him the truth.
So he's, he's flailing.
And this is a very scary moment because he's not wrong when he says, you know, the low yield nukes would collapse those underground facilities because that's the real problem we're facing.
We can't knock those out.
And as long as we can't knock those out, they're going to, in Iran, keep popping off your missiles and all this other stuff.
But, of course, it's also crazy because if you use low-yield nukes to knock these things out, you've just basically authorized the world to say, OK, we're going to start using low-yield nukes for these tactical situations.
What's going to stop Russia?
What's going to stop China?
Yeah, you know, it's like this is crazy talk.
And then also, by the way, we can't write off the possibility that Iran does have some rudimentary nuclear capability.
And look, they might have their own Samson option.
You know, Israel, if Israel is going to collapse, they have this plan to hit everybody with their nukes before they fall.
Who's to say Iran hasn't quietly developed a similar capability?
It would be very easy for them to send a dirty bomb, at least, through their proxies in Hezbollah or wherever.
And if we nuke them, they're just going to nuke somewhere in Europe or the United States because, hey, it doesn't matter anymore.
We can't discount that.
